Age: 46 for another month (Happy Birthday in June!)
FIT Age: 3-4-08

Original Goals at FIT: To strengthen my core to reduce back pain and to replace running with a gym workout.

Current Results, Celebrations, and Accomplishments: Getting my shoulder pain free, continuing to lose weight and improve my overall fitness level so I can stay active with my kids.

Current Goal(s): Do 5 unaided pull-ups by this time next year.

I am most proud of: “…that I am still getting up at 530 am to come to FIT and train after a year!”

Top three favorite exercises: Ball slams, back squats and Clean & Jerks (after I finish).

Top three least favorite exercises: Actually the rope is not in the top three any more. Prone physioball walkouts forward and back, ring rows and inchworms are all at top of the list!

What are the keys to your success? Why do you workout as hard as you do? In order to keep up with 4 kids I need to be in decent shape. Because of my back deterioration and having to give up running, I needed to find something new and working out seems to be it.

From the coaches at FIT: Pete is consistent and just flat out works hard. He may not always like what the workout is, (which is always an adventure because he finds a random moment between breaths to tell us!) but he is dedicated, challenges himself, and approaches each session with an open mind. This is a challenge at 600am! Another more unique element of Pete’s success is his motivation. He is driven by the desire to be a healthy active part of his kids’ lives and is setting an example for a balanced, active lifestyle, while enjoying his time with them. There are few things more inspiring than a father who works as hard as he can to lead by example. We are proud to have you as a part of our FIT family Pete. Thank you for your open mind and endless effort.
